I give you 2 thumbs up for the idea of this dessert! It is so different!!! I suggest to everyone that you only arrange your fruit right before serving this.. to ensure freshness of fruit..especially when bananas are being used!! :-) I used icing sugar instead of regular sugar... because I was afraid that the cream cheese would be gritty...but otherwise did as directed. I topped with strawberries, bananas, and mandarine orange slices... and it was an absolute treat! I was afraid of cutting it at first LOL.. but I used a chewy sugar cookie dough, so I just cut right through it into actual pizza slices hehe...it might not be smart to use a cookie dough that forms a hard cookie... you might run into a lot of trouble!! I topped the slices after cutting them as I was afraid to ruin the look of the fruit... so I cut it up..topped with fruit..and arranged back into the shape of a pizza..and everyone was just delighted. Thanks for this idea! Definitely will do this again sometime... :-)
